Recognition

Research with public reach.

I have been interviewed for ITV News and given special comment on risks of smart-glasses for the Guardian. My postdoctoral work on the RAPID project was recorded for CBBC's Operation Ouch, and the underlying Smart Alarm System became the subject of a patent application. PhD research was communicated directly to high-ranking military personnel at international conferences.
